@mbtilluminati
just wanted to say wow thank you for sticking with your MBTI blog even after the rest of us became inactive over the years
Hey anon not sure who you are/used to be but glad you’re still enjoying it! Yeah I’m pretty happy to scream into the void and I tend to stick with interests for long stretches so while I’m mostly just answering questions at this point I’m still here!
it was me haha, thank you for your service, soldier
So here's the situation. We are officially homeless. No income, no help. My partner has no ID, so we are struggling to get into the hostels here. It's ridiculous that they won't give us any help due to ID, but it's left us with pretty much nothing. A friend has taken us in, but it's a one room place (not counting the tiny bathroom) and both of the actual residents already sleep on the floor. We have no blanket, and one pillow, so it's freezing and makes it difficult to get any rest. We are attempting to get onto the system once again, but it's not going brilliantly. Will update on that when more happens. Essentially im going to have to do this for a while. If anyone can give anything so we can get a blanket and some money to put towards food, that would be great. Traditional commissions are open, I have a ton of cheap adopts open. My PayPal is [email protected], and my Kofi username is tinylostghost. If you can help, please do, because we need it. Really need it. Thank you for reading.
My friend is kindly letting me use his laptop to try and raise some money so digital commissions are now open! They are £3 more than my traditional commissions! Just add £3 to the price on my price list and that's the digital version price! We really need this right now, and if anyone can send anything or buy anything, it all goes towards helping us build a better future, being able to eat and survive. Thank you so so much.
Tell me this is right, this is how we should be living. There are four of us in one room, one female three male, we haven’t eaten since yesterday morning, we haven’t been able to shower, we are tired, hungry, upset. This situation is awful, and we need all the help we can get to get out of it. Please. Please send something, anything you can, and if you can’t please please please share this post. Help us eat, help us live. Please. Thank you.
Rod Serling: human rights activist as science fiction showrunner
Science fiction author Hugh Spencer (previously) has published an essay on how Rod Serling’s activist views on human rights were embodied in The Twilight Zone, drawing on the practice of using fantastic fiction to evade social constraints, in the tradition of Gulliver’s Travels (to say nothing of books like Pinocchio and Inferno(.
Spencer uses Twilight Zone and Night Gallery episodes to show how Serling’s activism influenced his storytelling, and how he learned to sneak “controversial” subjects past the network censors. Spencer argues that Serling’s work is a kind of dramatic retelling of the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, where the story and Serling’s amazing monologues worked together to combine drama and exposition to make trenchant points related to hot-button current events.
Serling, Spencer reminds us, was a public political activist, who drew heat for refusing to take a loyalty oath. Science fiction remains an active source of political pushback, with shows like Black Mirror; it’s awfully fitting that Jordan “Get Out” Peele will be running a rebooted Twilight Zone.

Seriously, I can’t believe the Fake Geek Boys who are complaining that Jordan Peele will “Make the Twillight Zone all about social justice issues”
The Twillight Zone has been about “Social justice issues” since the series BEGAN
If these whining bigots can’t stand shows like that then I doubt they’ve ever actually watched a single episode of Twillight Zone in the first place
Rod Serling’s going to claw his way out of the grave and throttle them.
I am ok with this. The world needs an angry Zombie Rod Serling just now.
Three signs you may be an introvert and how to cope.
I’ve always felt anxiety and pressure in social situations. It wasn’t that I disliked the people around me. Far from it. But something about the expectation to perform in a social capacity always filled me with dread.
For a while, I thought I was broken. Everyone I knew loved hanging out and being around one another. In one of my peaceful moments of alone time, I decided to do a little research to find out if something was wrong with me.
I learned about introversion. I learned about countless millions of people just like me. It became my mission to discover and understand the ins and outs of that mindset so I could better myself. I finally realized I didn’t have to change who I was. I could embrace it.
Over the years, I’ve cultivated knowledge I feel may be helpful to other introverts who don’t know there are people like them. I want to share with you some examples of situations where I felt uncomfortable and how I handled them. I don’t expect everyone to encounter the exact same situations or react the same way, but I think this will be a good template for other introverts to use.

The Dominant Function: The “White Noise” of Your Personality
How many hours a day do you spend in your room? Considering you have a Tumblr, it’s probably plenty.
Now, how many times have you walked into your room while looking for something and not found it, only for a family member or friend to walk in right after you and find it in a second? Followed by them saying something along the lines of, “It was right in front of your face!”
If you experience something, like a place or a person, all the time, the details can become fuzzy and the things that stay consistently the same can become “white noise.” Meaning you don’t notice them anymore.
I believe this concept applies to MBTI as well.
Your dominant function is never off. It’s always chugging along under the surface. It’s how you deal with most of your day to day problems. It IS you.
But, because it’s on all the time, it’s white noise. Not only to you, but to those around you as well. We only notice things that deviate from the “norm” or the “base.”
Adding onto my theory that the secondary function is the area that requires the most growth, I believe that the tertiary function behaves like the “Rising Sun” from astrology: It is how you are perceived by others.
It’s the function you use often enough that it’s noticeable but not so often that it becomes white noise. Your dominant function goes almost completely unnoticed by those around you although it’s obvious once you know what to look for and your secondary function works mainly subconsciously, melding into your dominant function near seamlessly.
Therefore, your tertiary function is the most notable to you and those around you, because it is seen as active. There is a change when you engage it, so it registers on everyone’s radar.
As examples: My boss is an ESFJ. She runs a daycare center/pre-school and WOW does she look creative. She is a neverending fountain of ideas and innovations. She was so creative she made me question my Ne-ness for approximately two seconds. But, the problem was that she was too noticeably “creative.” She never knows when to stop creating alternatives and her ideas tend to lack structure or any forethought. They can be good, but they usually need major tweaking, and she can be very touchy about trying to tweak her ideas. This is another red flag. A true Ne-dom would NEVER be touchy about changing ideas on the fly. Nor would they be as much of a busy body as her, constantly out shopping and working all day long. Ne’s prefer to work smart, not hard. They’re not just innovative sometimes, they’re innovative in every aspect of their life and can figure out how to get by while putting in the least amount of effort. On another note, she’s an entertainer. By that I mean that she does everything she does for her “audience”, not for herself. Ne’s are usually entertaining, but only by consequence. If you asked an Ne to try to entertain or explain what is entertaining, they’d fall completely flat. They just do what they want and if it entertains others (which it usually does) awesome. My boss’ tertiary Ne is her most notable feature, but it’s definitely not her dominant function.
Another example: My dad is an ISTJ, but he is renowned for his hard held morals. He is constantly described as a “good man” or a “true gentleman” or as being “inflexible in his beliefs.” But, his beliefs are not as extensive as my ISFP friend. She has opinions on EVERYTHING, and they all have fleshed out explanations and reasoning. Whether her views would be seen as logical is irrelevant to her: It’s how she feels. My dad’s beliefs are more like the ten commandments, he has a few large, expansive opinions that he uses to guide him through most of his life. But, he’d find having an individual fleshed out opinion on EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING ridiculous and a waste of time. Why spend all that time thinking about unimportant things when there’s work to be done?
Last example: My aforementioned ISFP friend. She is known amongst my friends as “the psychic.” (could there be anything more stereotypically Ni?) Of course, I don’t really see Ni as the “psychic” function, but rather as the “visionary” function. Ni’s believe that there is one true pattern to life, one cheat code to getting exactly what they want. They plan out their moves twenty turns ahead and are hard on themselves when things don’t turn out the way they planned. So, although my friend does enjoy playing psychic, she actually is also well-known for displaying true Ni traits as well. She has a notebook filled with page after page of where she sees herself in 5, 10, 15, 20 years from now, going all the way back to when she was in elementary school. She had a vision of what her perfect guy would look like, what job he’d have, and how they’d meet, which took until only a year or two ago to get her to let go of. She obsesses over where she’s going in life and how she wants her life to look right now. When things change, she panics, because now she has to revise her entire future. But, she’s nowhere near as integrated as my INFJ friend. His Ni visions aren’t just visions, they’re plans. He knows how he’s going to get the things he envisions for himself, and although he still obsesses over it, he’s able to change courses more fluidly than our ISFP. He can create a new path quickly and efficiently, so you rarely notice him doing it. It’s more notable in the ISFP because she throws herself into a depression every time her vision changes, rather than just taking the changes as they come and trying to make them work in your overarching plan.
This is already really long-winded, but people do this to me, too, as an ENFP. People see me initially as an “ice queen”, I’m often compared to characters like Hermione Granger, an ESTJ (who, interestingly enough, is a character created by a lower order Te-user as a caricature of herself), and my parents always describe me as “bossy.” But, I lack any actual organization skills. My Te is surface level, notable but not as complete as Hermione’s or even my father’s.
I think I need to end this here before I ramble anymore. Lol. Let me know what you think!
TLDR; Your tertiary function is your most noticeable function while your dominant function becomes “white noise.”
Good post.
And so true.
Why the types are dangerous: INTP edition
They have sarcasm at a level that could peel paint
They can come up with the best insults
Have a way of making you doubt something you were sure about
^^^ They don’t even have to say anything. Their facial expressions are enough
If you’re wrong about something they will call you out about it in front of everyone
Once you have entered the realm of subject they have studied, they will know infinitely more than you and they will make sure you know that too
If they are angry with you, expect to show up dead on the streets tomorrow or perhaps the bottom of a river
Guys....., I'm definitely an ESFP after all..,
What would an extremely unhealthy Fi-dom look like?
Typically, the Fi-dom sense of independence when either unhealthy or pushed too far tends to manifest in a “your rules don’t apply to me, screw you” sort of approach to life, where they are super-sensitive / you have to walk on eggshells around them, but they literally do not care how you feel about what they are saying / whether what they have to say is socially appropriate. It’s a “this doesn’t go both ways” approach to life – I can say whatever I want and you just have to live with it / get over it, but how dare you criticize me or tease me like that.
Their inferior Te tends to come out with extremely blunt ‘judgments’ about people, depending on what perception function lies ahead of it – an unhealthy ISFP may make highly critical / inappropriate / nasty remarks about people’s physical appearances or deformities; an unhealthy INFP may use their ability to see an alternative perspective to cruelly cut down someone’s opinions or target someone’s weaknesses (gathered through intuition).
In its purest form, a healthy Fi is all about allowing others pure individuality (without judgment), ensuring no one feels pressured to do anything they do not want to do / championing freedom of choice / uniqueness, avoiding causing others pain, distress, or embarrassment out of respect for their feelings (choosing your battles carefully, in the realization that not every situation requires a judgment or a fight), and a clear sense of and confidence in Self to make moral decisions (for oneself, not for other people).

Is it possible to be an ISFP who falls into an INFP state when dissociating? I find that when I start to dissociate (from depression), my Se Pretty much turns off. But then when I'm manic (I have bipolar disorder), Se completely overwhelms me. Idk, thoughts on this?
It’s extremely possible to have Se repressed or used unhealthily in these states. However, this doesn’t mean that you fall into an INFP state, since Ni is most likely the function you rely on when Se is repressed. Sounds to me like you have a tendency to loop when depressed, since it isn’t possible to change types. I’d look into loops if I were you. Hope this helps!
if mbti is fake explain why all infps are like that
I have an isfp crush. He is so warm, gentile and helpful when we are together. Always pays, asks me if I need something or hungry etc. But if we cannot see each other in person, for example in holidays, he doesn't initiate conversation. When I text him, he generally ignores or reply so late. I send him voice messages. He listened all but didn't reply. I'm sure he is not busy. What does it all mean? Please answer :/
honestly I’m a really big culprit of doing what your ISFP crush is doing! I can’t speak for him, but I know that for me personally, even if I have a huge crush on someone I rarely initiate anything, like even if I really want to text them first I sit there and wait for them to text me because I feel like I can only start the conversation if I have an actual topic of conversation in mind. Silly, I know, but I tend to get stuck in my own head and let thoughts and ideas about the person bounce around in my mind, but have trouble getting those thoughts out of my head and express them to the person. That’s the curse of having the tendency to be in a Fi-Ni loop: knowing exactly how you feel about a situation but struggling to communicate it verbally. It’s a struggle, but considering the fact that he’s the same type as me leads me to believe that you may be in the same situation that my past crushes have been in. Often times being pinned down by someone asking me a direct question about how I feel about something gives me the push I need in order to articulate my feelings. Hope this helps, Anon! (Also I really hope this ask wasn’t sent too long ago, I rarely check the notifs for my MBTI blog these days, sorry!)
